Recommended Posts

Bob Sanders will be placed on IR. He is not coming back this year.

His backup, Melvin Bullitt, is on IR.

Starting CB Jerraud Powers was placed on IR this week.

Starting CB Kelvin Hayden will miss his second straight game with a neck injury.

Starting strong-side linebacker Clint Session will miss his fifth straight game.

 

On offense, it's not much better.

Starting RB Joseph Addai will miss his seventh straight game.

Starting WR Austin Collie will miss his sixth game out of the last eight.

Backup RB MIke Hart will miss his fifth game out out of the last six.

Starting TE Dallas Clark is on IR.

The revolving door at guard continues as well.

 

It's gonna be ugly tonight.

...making my flex-decision to start Kenny Britt over Matt Forte (vs NE) that much tougher. I'll likely roll with Forte, but man, using Britt here is about the best match-up the dude will have the rest of the way.

I would be very tempted to go with Britt. . .

Not to turn this into a Fantasy Advice thread, but really? Dude hasn't played in 6 weeks, and it's not 100% certain that he will play. And if he does, in what capacity? I mean, if I had the choice between Forte and Britt, I think Forte is the no-brainer, with Britt being a hugh risk.

 

Meh, anywho, just my :wacko:

I don't see how you can start a guy coming off a torn hamstring in his first game action since the injury. Nothing hurts a FF team more than a goose egg. This is coming from a guy who started V-Jax his first week back and lost the week because of it :wacko::tup::lol::tup:

Hear any news on Tamme ? sort week, battling injuries plus he didn't practice. Which I'm guessing is a pure rest situation but how effective will he be.

 

Would you bench him for guys like Celek or Shinacoe ?

This game is in his hands. What are you worried about?

 

CJ (and the entire TEN offense) was stopped cold by two VERY suspect defenses (HOU, JAX) for two weeks in a row. Ok, I can buy the Rusty Smith factor but last week was a real cause for concern.

 

We know the Colts have been absolutely devastated by injury on both sides of the ball but even crippled is its defense worse than that of HOU and JAX? Man, if those two can shut down your offense any can...

I'm debating between the Titans or Eagles DEF this week in a must win game. With the way Manning has played lately, you'd think it would be a no-brainer. I just think he's going to have a monster game tonight.

I'm not sure how anyone can confidently say one way or the other what Chris Johnson will do. The Titans are done, and they couldn't do anything against Houston or Oakland which is pretty pathetic. The Colts have a LOT at stake tonight, and I would think the team with more on the line tends to play with more urgency. I could be wrong, but the way I see it is that the Colts' offense will probably get theirs because they usually do. If they get any kind of two score lead, I don't see how Chris Johnson has a monster game. The Colts have been bad and injured on defense for a while now. Still, how can anyone have a warm and fuzzy feeling about the Titans at all right now regardless of matchup?

CJ needs to break a big TD run to get his tonight. (At least that is what I am counting on!) That is what hw is not doiong this year versus last year.

I'd go with the Titans. No running game. Poor offensive line play. No running backs. Banged up WR's.

Yeah, but they've lost both starting cornerbacks the last two weeks. They will be starting Jacob Lacey and Justin Tryon at CB tonight. The nickelback is someone they just pulled off the practice squad. Dime? I don't even know what they'll do in dime.

They can't be worse than Houston or Oakland. :wacko:

Oakland is 13th in total defense. Colts are 18th. Texans are 29th.

 

Against the run, the Colts are 29th. Oakland is 23rd. Texans are 10th.

 

Yes. They can be worse.
